In partnership with the Meyerhoff Scholars Program, UMBC will sponsor a bus to the event for all registered undergraduate students from any school in the region. Graduate student mentors, postdocs, staff, and faculty are also welcome to take the bus that will make a round trip between UMBC's campus and College Park. All riders should plan to come to UMBC to ride the bus to and from College Park. Parking at UMBC is free on the weekends.
All UMBC and USM undergraduate students, mentees, family members, community members, etc. are welcome and encouraged to attend.
